    As soon as you cross cables and try to jump the damage is sometimes hidden blown fusible links and also the TIPM could have taken a hit
    Seems like jumper cables do more harm than good in modern vehicles....good luck

    Did you use OEM sensors? Most of the sensors in the Journey are hall effect and no OEM could give you headaches.

    Update
    I was able to replace the bulb and all is good now.
    But. What I found out was the manual shows the wrong bulb(s).
    After getting the old bulb out it was a 3157.

    lol.  My wife wanted all that.  Watching cartoons as we drive keeps the kids in check.  I'm thinking I might do screens in the headrests for that.  The radio has outputs to do it.

    It really wouldn't be bad if someone had explained how the canbus worked in the settings beforehand and that the CD player part had to be removed to get all the plugs put in. 

    I could do it in 10 minutes now.  It was really easy.  The hardest part was guessing through the canbus part.  That is why I made the video.
     
    It is pretty much exactly the one in your link I'd guess but I couldn't say for sure.  It has a different canbus box for sure though. There wasn't any splicing or cutting or anything to install.
     
    This is the CD player if anyone comes here and wants that EXACT one.

    Sure it would be more expensive but in the long run I believe I would take it to a dodge dealership as they have more knowledge on these vehicles small shops are just guessing most of the time.good luck

    Yes it is. I do a lot of business with him and also buy my firewood thru him, I also make parts runs and assist in repair diagnostics with him when real odd problem cars come to him. 
    Right now we're working together to determine best diagnostic scan tool and program capabilities for 2017 and newer cars that he will have to upgrade to. He also wants to be able to program replacement fobs for these newer year vehicles{Stellantis group}, as security protocols have changed dramatically in newer cars..... thanks to the Hyundai/Kia hacking fiasco a while back.

    May I suggest that you look up your rotors and pads on rockauto.com, they are very reliable and have very good prices. You will go nuts about OE dealer parts and prices.

    Spring car maint,  just did winters to summers swap and now have parts on order. Back wheel bearings started to howl  two months ago.  At around 249kms or 155 miles, not that bad for original bearings really. Only one front original bearing left.
    Waiting for rockauto  parts now. One front outer tie rod also needs changing, will do both. This vehicle will go to my daughter eventually so keeping up the maint. 
     
    Even on a new car I find the low profile 19” tires run firmer but handle better. Our snows are 17” Dunlop tires so I have experienced the difference.  The  look of the alum spoke 19” rims is also nicer …but costly.  You could explore the all weather (mtn snow flake symbol) tires most companies sell now. My pickup has them so you run them all year. Not quite as good a winter and slightly more money. Only one set of rims/Tpms sensors is also nice.

    17" for winter treads was my plan for later this year, but we both like the ride of the 19's in good weather, 17's of our other 2 DJ's seem "floaty" in curves. We didn't get many days of snowy / poor roads this year, so "managed" thru on low tread depth tires. At this point, we can't afford getting 17" rims and tires, almost less expensive to get new 19" tires.

    well you didn't use oem and there are a lot of junk aftermarket parts being sold these days, but they shouldn't be your problem , from what you have wrote it would be something you did during the reassembly since you didn't infer a problem before doing this work

    I can see changing the plugs but why mess with injectors and coil packs for no reason especially if they were OEM's to aftermarket?

    You were told timing belt was changed? Neither the 2.4 nor the 3.6 have a belt, it’s a chain.
    Very involved  and expensive repair. If not done properly it could run rough. Or was it the surpentine belt that drives alternator pwr steering etc. 
    Always start with checking for codes when diagnosing.
